  • the secondary batteries may be classified into a cylindrical battery configured to have a structure in which an electrode assembly is mounted in a cylindrical metal container, a prismatic battery configured to have a structure in which an electrode assembly is mounted in a prismatic metal container, and a pouch type battery configured to have a structure in which an electrode assembly is mounted in a pouch type case made of an aluminum laminate sheet.
  • a pouch type battery configured to have a structure in which such a stacked or stacked/folded type electrode assembly is mounted in a pouch type battery case made of an aluminum laminate sheet because of low manufacturing costs, light weight, easy modification of the shape thereof, etc.
  • the use of such a pouch type battery has gradually increased.
  • a secondary battery electrode is manufactured by applying a mixture of an electrode active material, a conductive agent, and a binder to an electrode current collector and then drying and pressing the mixture.

While the electrode current collector sheet 140 is transferred, an electrode mixture slurry discharged from the slot die 110 is applied to the electrode current collector sheet 140.
  • the coating method using the slot die 110 is superior to other coating methods in terms of maintenance and productivity. For this reason, the coating method using the slot die 110 is widely used in the manufacture of a flat panel display panel, in addition to the application of the electrode mixture slurry to the electrode current collector sheet 140.
